Hello Vince,

To begin learning how to code in EFS, please start with the following resources.

JavaScript for EFS video series
This will provide an introduction to the JavaScript language, which is the basis for our eSignal Formula Script (EFS).

EFS Tutorial Series
These beginner tutorials will cover the basics of the EFS environment as well as back testing specifics.

After going through these resources you should be well on your way to developing your custom formulas and back testing strategies. If you run into specific issues related to the formula code you're working on, please post your specific details along with your code here in the forums and we'll provide additional guidance.

If learning EFS is not something you wish to do and you would like someone to develop your formulas, you may want to contact one of our EFS Consultants.
